lifted clear of the lug 8 to permit the bolt to be The invention relates to improvements in hasp locks.

The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of hasp locks and to provide an eflcient one adapted for use on car-doors, ordinary doors, and the like, and capable, when employed on car doors, of being used in connection with the ordinary'seal.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangementof parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated -in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is aperspective view of a hasp lock constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a plan View, the casing of the lock being shown in section, and the parts being locked. Fig. 3 is a similar View, the parts being unlocked.v Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the transverselymovable bolt. Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional View.

Like numerals of reference indicate like parts in all the figures of the drawings.

1 designates a hasp, having mounted on its swinging or movable member 2 arectangular shell or lock-casing 3, which contains a longitudinally-movable bolt 4, and Which is secured to the said movable member by pins or the like. Within the casing is arranged a key-stud 5, mounted on the hinged member 2 of the hasp, and located opposite a V- shaped key-engaged recess 6, whereby the bolt is shot by the key in either direction. A series of tumblers 7, which are spring actuated, is arranged adjacent to and resting against the bolt, and provided with recesses or openings for engaging a lug 8 of the bolt. These tumblers operate in the usual manner and are adapted to be engaged by a key to be moved, and by changingthe tumblers many varietiesof locks and keys may beconstructed,

, as will be readily understood.

p The longitudinallymovable bolt 4 is arranged to engage a socket or recess 9, of a transversely-movable bolt 10,7`which is bifurcated to provide inner and outer arms 11 and 12. The inner arm is located Within the lockcasing and operates through an opening 13 thereof. It is guided by a rib 13", and is provided with a longitudinal slot 14', to receive a pin or other fastening device for limiting the transverse movement of the bolt 10, which may be raised or moved outward when the long gfitu'dinal bolt 4 is retracted. The outer arm 12 is located opposite the staple-opening lvof the hinged member of the hasp, which opening 15 is adapted to receive a staple 16 of a keeper 17 in the usual manner to permit the outer arm l2 to engage the staple and secure the hasp in the ordinary manner. When the transversely-movable bolt 10 is moved inward into engagement with the staple 16, it is locked in that position by the longitudinal bolt 4, which engages the socket or recess 9 arranged at the top or outer side of the bolt 10. Y

In order to hold the transverse bolt raised, or in its outward or extended position, a flat friction spring 1S is secured within the casing by means of the pin 19, and this spring engages the inner arm of the transverse bolt with suiicient friction to prevent any accidental inward movement.

Whenfthe hasp lock is designed to be used in connection with freight-car doors, an ordinary seal 2O is employed, and the wire 21 thereof is passed through the staple and an opening 22 of a flange 23`at the outer side of-the transverse bolt. A key-hole cover may be employed if desired, and this will be found of more service when the hasp lock is employed on car doors, as it is then very much exposed to the weather.

nary hasp is used, and that it is capable of permitting the useof a car seal.

Changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or IOO sacrificing any ot' the advantages of this invention.

What I claim is- 1. The combination of a hasp, alock mounted thereon and provided at one side with an opening and having a transverse way located at the opening, a transversely movable bolt composed of inner and outer arms, the outer arm being located outside of the lock casing and arranged opposite the hasp opening, and the inner arm being located in said Way and guided by the same and having a. limited movement, and a longitudinal bolt mounted Within the lock casing and adapted to be 0perated by a key, and arranged to engage the inner arm of the transverse bolt to secure the same against outward lnovement, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a hasp, of a lockcasing mounted on the hasp, a longitudinal bolt arranged in the casing and adapted to be operated by a key, a transverselymovable bolt having inner and outer arms, the outer arm being arranged opposite the hasp-opening and the inner arm being arranged in the casing and operating through the same and t casing and operating through an opening in the same and arranged to be engaged by the 4o longitudinal bolt and provided with a slot 14, apin arranged in the slot and limiting the outward movement of the transverse bolt, and a at spring disposed longitudinally of the inner arm of the transverse bolt and connected 45 with the casing and frictionally engaging the transverse bolt, substantially as and for the purpose described.

4. The combination with a hasp, of a lockcasing mounted thereon, a longitudinal bolt 5o arranged within the lock-casing, a transverse bolt having inner and outer arms and proj vided at its outer side with a fiange having an opening, said outer arm beinglocated op- `posite the hasp-opening and the inner arm 55 being arranged within the casing and adapted to be engaged by the longitudinal bolt, substantially as described.

In testimony that l claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in 6o the presence of two witnesses.
